OfflineFirst and foremost I have to think the success acamady and my on site mentor Matt and my great coach Drew and Dean for putting all this together. And I must say all the coaches at the success acamady are great. I joined the sucess acamady in OCT of 08 and did not close my first deal till June the 21 of 09. When I look back I really wonder if fear didn't play a big part, But thinks to the success acamady holding me accountable look what has got accomplished in 10 months, It did take a lot of work to find what would work in my area' But it has payed off. I do own 17 homes to date and the most amazing thing about this i had bad credit, no job and just filed bankruptcy. So just to keep a long story short if i can do this with my back against the wall the way mine was anybody can succeed, Just take action. I still use the success acamady today, I just spent a hour on the phone with them yesterday. Looking forward to meeting everyone at the EDGE. THANKS again Dean for you and your loyal staff.

Everyone one of my deals were O down except for one, I did give them $500.00 but on this one I am going to flip. I am paying the interest on their credit line which is costing me $70.00 month.

Awesome!!! 17 homes...nice. Are they all rented out, and giving you positive cash flow? What strategy did you use to be able to use 0 of your money down?

Your post is short but it made me say Wow! It's an extra ordinary achievement for a person who just filed bankruptcy and look, you now have 17 properties in 10 months and a total of 25 deals!!! Amazing. you deserve to be duplicated. Blessings to all. LA

Hey randy.....this gives me more hope.....hope that I really need.....Just getting into this and pretty much in a back to wall situation....for my background look up "The Quest" in the forum section.
Glad to hear your about your huge success in such a short time. I only have a short time to complete the 5 deals to get the refund from the academy. I shall call them to see what more I need to do. I too have struggled immensely with fear but slowly overcoming it. It's great to hear your story and keeps us all motivated.
Blessings to you,
Cathy
They are rented out except for two, these I am going to flip. I did a lease to own on all my properties. I have a positive cash flow from 145.00 to 300.00 a month. I have also received down payments From 3.000 to 10.000 down. I am actuary average about 6500.00 on my down payments. I bought all my homes subject to the existing loan. On some of these I have actually got the home owner to make up to 3 months payments. Which gave me over a 1.000 month positive cash flow for 3 months. The last properti got for 0 down and no payments for a year. this I am going to flip. I should make around 45.000 on it. The other I am flipping i am just paying the interest on their credit line, which is 70.00 a month, And yes I got their credit line froze. should make between 25 and 30 k on this one. Hope this answer your question, and good luck to all.

Thanks for the encouragement. Knowing what you have done in just 10 months from where you were is really motivating. I had stopped doing the lessons in the success academy but am back on it now! Thanks again and I pray for your continued success.
Wow...what a great story! Keep up the success and we should all be encouraged after reading your journal.
Thanks for sharing.
Peace and Blessings,

Hey Randy congrats and way to go. Your proof that there is no obsicales that can stop anyone from doing this or anything that they want to do in life. What's the old saying, Just do it.

Congratulations on a job well done. I hope I can do as good a job as you have. I am looking forward to the day I too can say I have 25 deals in 10 months or so.
I hope I can get something going soon. God knows I need it. About to lose it.
They told me I couldnt, So I did it.
The motivation for me, is them telling me what I cannot be.
Randy, Vee here , Can you share with me what contract you use to do No Money Down Please. Thanks
Thanks for sharing randy428 your story with us it really gives me hope because Iam in the edge of losing it all. I joined the academy 10 months ago and fear is the one thing i can't get over with. Can you give me some advice.
Thank you,
Juan Soltero
Fear is what i think is a part of what took me so long to get started. I just didn't know what i was going to do if i bought a house and couldn't get some one in it quick enough. I did have my buyers list in order by running dummy adds. But I think what probably help me the most was being a part of the success acamady., At least i had some one to hold me accountable and coaches that kelpt telling me it would work. I also really had to do a lot sole searching and decide if i really wanted change in my life. i hope this helps a little.

I would just like think everyone for responding. At least that gives hope to people that thinks this can't be done with no money. I am really surprise at all the PM I have got from this post. And for you guys that are responding by PM and not posting. Share your stuff with everyone. You don't know who you might be helping. And I am going to say this again Thanks Dean for your Success Acamady and all your loyal staff. I can never repay what they have giving me.

Hi Randy,
Congratulations on bypassing your fears and reaching the success point of no return. I know Dean's materials really are applicable, but to hear the successes of real people give me a boost of hope that I could do it too, even with the situation that I am in right now. My house will be foreclosed on this April 14,2010 if I don't have the reinstatement fee paid (which I will come up with)- My husband left due to a lot of debt arguments so I told him to give me 3 months to concentrate full time on REI. The last 2 1/2 weeks since focusing on RE, I tried to help a friend from being in foreclosure-they were in shortsale but failed because bank didn't accept offer. Also try working on a foreclosure house for them to rent when they move up to where I am.(still negotiating with bank) And working on other rental places that a few people have asked me to look for them. I look at FSBO, Lease-Option, Listed houses, talk to agents, talk to potential partners,but have no results yet. Your 0 down,owning home subject to existing loan sounds like a very good method to use.
Can you give a step by step example of one of your negotiations on how you determined to approach the owner of the house? Your answer is greatly appreciated. I know nothing is more real than REAL ESTATE-I know I am chasing DREAMS but realistic dreams not smoking dreams. And I have 2 1/2 months left to show a nice big check to my absentee husband!!!
Thank You,
Best to you.

Randy,
Thank you for advice, I will look at your journal. I have joined the Academy since Nov.'09, but have yet to do one lesson due to full time work to help pay for debts(my day start at 6:30 ends at 11:30-6days,Sat.8-10:30. This include work and family) and husband wasn't keen on me doing REI. Now I can, but since going full time,I have spend time helping my friend's family like I mentioned. I will start on the lessons as soon as this whole foreclosure situation blows over. Thank you much.
Best,
coco

That was one of the hardest thing i ever did was change, I had to change everything about me in order to make this work. I finally realize that i could not help nobody else if i didn't help myself first and believe it are not i learned this from Dean. I wish you the best of luck on what you decided to do.
